Despite the fact that you seem to think the celebration of the birth of Christ is a secular, non religious holy day, it isn't.

What makes you think I believe that? So you think (and I use that in the loosest sense of the word) that non-Christians shouldn't celebrate or have anything to do with Christmas?
You don't like the secularization of Christmas, well I don't either, but I don't let it bother me, I enjoy the spirit of the season.

And as long as we're going at it you might look at where we got Santa Claus, and why we celebrate Christ's birth on Dec. 25th.

Leaving your insult aside for the moment, no, they shouldn't. Which won't stop them, nor would I expect it to.

What are they celebrating? All the nonsense? They are free to do whatever they like, and I'm free to point it out. They are hypocrites. Oh well.

I enjoy the REAL spirit of the season as well. Not the phony made up aspects of the season which remove Christ from the equation so that all the people who don't believe in him can join in the fun of those who do. They don't want to be left out as long as it doesn't mean anything. That's why they go to any lenghts to secularize it.

And as long as we're going at it you might look at where we got Santa Claus, and why we celebrate Christ's birth on Dec. 25th.

I know all about that. And have already suggested real Christians move the holiday to a different time and leave the empty shell to the pagans.
